Although in the drawings attached to this specification, the block diagram in which components are classified by their functions and shown as independent blocks is illustrated, it is difficult to divide actual components according to their functions completely and it is possible for one component to relate to a plurality of functions.

In this specification, the names of a source and a drain of a transistor interchange with each other depending on the polarity of the transistor and the levels of potentials applied to the terminals. In general, in an n-channel transistor, a terminal to which a lower potential is applied is called a source, and a terminal to which a higher potential is applied is called a drain. In a p-channel transistor, a terminal to which a lower potential is applied is called a drain, and a terminal to which a higher potential is applied is called a source. In this specification, for the sake of convenience, the connection relation of a transistor is sometimes described assuming that the source and the drain are fixed; in reality, the names of the source and the drain interchange with each other depending on the above relation of the potentials.

In this specification, a source of a transistor means a source region that is part of a semiconductor film functioning as an active layer or a source electrode connected to the above semiconductor film. Similarly, a drain of a transistor means a drain region that is part of the above semiconductor film or a drain electrode connected to the semiconductor film. Moreover, a gate means a gate electrode.

In this specification, a state in which transistors are connected in series means, for example, a state in which only one of a source and a drain of a first transistor is connected to only one of a source and a drain of a second transistor. In addition, a state in which transistors are connected in parallel means a state in which one of a source and a drain of a first transistor is connected to one of a source and a drain of a second transistor and the other of the source and the drain of the first transistor is connected to the other of the source and the drain of the second transistor.

In this specification, connection means electrical connection and corresponds to a state in which current, voltage, or a potential can be supplied or transmitted. Accordingly, a state of being connected does not necessarily mean a state of being directly connected and also includes, in its category, a state of being indirectly connected through a circuit element such as a wiring, a resistor, a diode, or a transistor so that current, voltage, or a potential can be supplied or transmitted.

In this specification, even when independent components are connected to each other in a circuit diagram, there is actually a case where one conductive film has functions of a plurality of components such as a case where part of a wiring functions as an electrode, for example. Connection in this specification also includes such a case where one conductive film has functions of a plurality of components in its category.

Furthermore, in this specification, one of a first electrode and a second electrode of a transistor refers to a source electrode and the other refers to a drain electrode.

Alternatively, a novel display panel, a novel display device, a novel input/output device, a novel data processing device, or a novel semiconductor device can be provided.

Note that the descriptions of the effects do not disturb the existence of other effects. One embodiment of the present invention does not necessarily achieve all the effects. Other effects will be apparent from and can be derived from the description of the specification, the drawings, the claims, and the like.

For example, the artificial intelligence portion 213 can generate the control data CI for display of a boundary between extracted part of the image and another part. Specifically, the artificial intelligence portion 213 can generate the control data CI for display of a rectangle surrounding the extracted part of the image.

In this manner, the control data for display that can be felt suitable can be generated. Alternatively, display that can be felt suitable is possible. Alternatively, the control data for display that can be felt comfortable can be generated. Alternatively, display that can be felt comfortable is possible. Consequently, a novel data processing device that is highly convenient or reliable can be provided.

<<Structure Example 2 of Semiconductor Device 90>>

<<Neural Network 80>>

The input layer 81 includes a first group of neuron circuits.

The intermediate layer 82 includes a second group of neuron circuits.

The output layer 83 includes a third group of neuron circuits.

The second group of neuron circuits includes a first neuron circuit 71 and a second neuron circuit 72.

The first neuron circuit 71 is electrically connected to the first group of neuron circuits.

The second neuron circuit 72 is electrically connected to the third group of neuron circuits.

The first group of neuron circuits is supplied with the data IN. For example, the input data II or the sensing data DS can be used as the data IN.

The third group of neuron circuits supplies the inference RI. For example, the inference RI can be used as the control data CI.

<<Neuron Circuit 71>>

The neuron circuit 71 includes a product-sum operation unit 10 and a converter 30 (see FIG. 15(C)).

<<Product-Sum Operation Unit 10>>

The product-sum operation unit 10 is supplied with a group of an input signal X[1] to an input signal X[N]. The product-sum operation unit 10 is supplied with a group of weight data W[1] to weight data W[N]. The product-sum operation unit 10 is also supplied with a bias signal B.

By the product-sum operation unit 10, a product-sum signal U is generated on the basis of the bias signal B and the product-sum value of the group of the input signal X[1] to the input signal X[N] and the group of the weight data W[1] to the weight data W[N] and supplied. For example, a memory using a transistor which includes an oxide semiconductor or the like can be used for a memory for storing the weight data W[1] to the weight data W[N]. Specifically, a transistor that includes an oxide semiconductor containing indium or an oxide semiconductor containing indium, gallium, and zinc can be used for the memory. An analog arithmetic circuit can be used for the product-sum operation unit 10, for example. In this manner, the circuit scale can be small as compared with that of a digital arithmetic circuit. Alternatively, the power consumption can be reduced.

Structure Example 3 of Data Processing Device

Another structure of the data processing device of one embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 13(A) and FIG. 13(B).

<<Program>>

The program of one embodiment of the present invention has the following steps (see FIG. 13(A)).

[First Step]

In a first step, setting is initialized (see (S1) in FIG. 13(A)).

For example, predetermined image data which is to be displayed on start-up and data for determining a predetermined mode of displaying the image data and a predetermined display method for displaying the image data are acquired from the memory portion 212. Specifically, one still image data or another moving image data can be used as the predetermined image data. Furthermore, a first mode or a second mode can be used as the predetermined mode.

[Second Step]

In a second step, interrupt processing is allowed (see (S2) in FIG. 13(A)). Note that an arithmetic device allowed to execute the interrupt processing can perform the interrupt processing in parallel with the main processing. The arithmetic device which has returned from the interrupt processing to the main processing can reflect the results obtained through the interrupt processing in the main processing.

The arithmetic device may execute the interrupt processing when a counter has an initial value, and the counter may be set at a value other than the initial value when the arithmetic device returns from the interrupt processing. Thus, the interrupt processing can always follow the start-up of the program.

[Third Step]

In a third step, image data is displayed in a predetermined mode or a predetermined display method selected in the first step or the interrupt processing (see (S3) in FIG. 13(A)). Note that the predetermined mode identifies a mode for displaying the data, and the predetermined display method identifies a method for displaying image data. For example, the image data V1 can be used for data to be displayed.

One method for displaying the image data V1 can be associated with a first mode, for example. Alternatively, another method for displaying the image data V1 can be associated with a second mode. Thus, a display method can be selected on the basis of the selected mode.

<<First Mode>>

Specifically, a method for supplying selection signals to a scan line at a frequency of more than or equal to 30 Hz, preferably more than or equal to 60 Hz, and performing display on the basis of the selection signals can be associated with the first mode.

For example, selection signals are supplied at a frequency of more than or equal to 30 Hz, preferably more than or equal to 60 Hz, so that the movement of a moving image can be smoothly displayed.

For example, an image is refreshed at a frequency of more than or equal to 30 Hz, preferably more than or equal to 60 Hz, so that an image that changes so as to smoothly follow the user's operation can be displayed on the data processing device 200 the user is operating.

<<Second Mode>>

Specifically, a method for supplying selection signals to a scan line at a frequency of less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, further preferably less than once a minute and performing display on the basis of the selection signals can be associated with the second mode.

The supply of selection signals at a frequency of less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, further preferably less than once a minute enables display with a flicker or flickering suppressed. Furthermore, the power consumption can be reduced.

For example, when the data processing device 200 is used for a clock, the display can be refreshed at a frequency of once a second, once a minute, or the like.

Note that when a light-emitting element is used as the display element, for example, the light-emitting element can be configured to emit light in a pulsed manner so that image data is displayed. Specifically, an organic EL element can be configured to emit light in a pulsed manner, and its afterglow can be used for display. The organic EL element has excellent frequency characteristics; thus, time for driving the light-emitting element can be shortened, and thus the power consumption can be reduced in some cases. Alternatively, heat generation is suppressed, and thus the deterioration of the light-emitting element can be suppressed in some cases.

[Fourth Step]

In a fourth step, selection is performed such that the program proceeds to a fifth step when a termination instruction has been supplied, whereas the program proceeds to the third step when the termination instruction has not been supplied (see (S4) in FIG. 13(A)).

For example, the termination instruction supplied in the interrupt processing can be used for the determination.

[Fifth Step]

In the fifth step, the program terminates (see (S5) in FIG. 13(A)).

<<Interrupt Processing>>

The interrupt processing includes a sixth step to an eighth step described below (see FIG. 13(B)).

[Sixth Step]

In the sixth step, the illuminance of the environment where the data processing device 200 is used is detected using the sensing portion 250, for example (see (S6) in FIG. 13(B)). Note that color temperature or chromaticity of ambient light may be detected instead of the illuminance of the environment.

[Seventh Step]

In the seventh step, a display method is determined on the basis of the detected illuminance data (see (S7) in FIG. 13(B)). For example, a display method is determined such that the brightness of display is not too dark or too bright.

Note that in the case where the color temperature or chromaticity of the ambient light is detected in the sixth step, the color of display may be adjusted.

[Eighth Step]

In the eighth step, the interrupt processing terminates (see (S8) in FIG. 13(B)).

Structure Example 3 of Data Processing Device

Another structure of the data processing device of one embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 14 .

FIG. 14(A) is a flow chart illustrating a program of one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 14(A) is a flow chart illustrating interrupt processing different from that illustrated in FIG. 13(B).

Note that the structure example 3 of the data processing device is different from the interrupt processing described with reference to FIG. 13(B) in that the interrupt processing includes a step in which a mode is changed on the basis of a supplied predetermined event. Different portions will be described in detail here, and the above description is referred to for portions that can use similar structures.

<<Interrupt Processing>>

The interrupt processing includes a sixth step to an eighth step described below (see FIG. 14(A)).

[Sixth Step]

In the sixth step, the program proceeds to the seventh step when a predetermined event has been supplied, whereas the program proceeds to the eighth step when the predetermined event has not been supplied (see (U6) in FIG. 14(A)). For example, whether the predetermined event is supplied in a predetermined period or not can be used as a condition. Specifically, the predetermined period can be longer than 0 seconds, and shorter than or equal to 5 seconds, shorter than or equal to 1 second, or shorter than or equal to 0.5 seconds, preferably shorter than or equal to 0.1 seconds.

[Seventh Step]

In the seventh step, the mode is changed (see (U7) in FIG. 14(A)). Specifically, the second mode is selected in the case where the first mode has been selected, and the first mode is selected in the case where the second mode has been selected.

For example, it is possible to change the display mode of a region that is part of the display portion 230. Specifically, the display mode of a region where one driver circuit in the display portion 230 including the driver circuit GDA, the driver circuit GDB, and a driver circuit GDC supplies a selection signal can be changed (see FIG. 14(B)).

For example, the display mode of the region where a selection signal is supplied from the driver circuit GDB can be changed when a predetermined event is supplied to the input portion 240 in a region overlapping with the region where a selection signal is supplied from the driver circuit GDB (see FIG. 14(B) and FIG. 14(C)). Specifically, the frequency of the selection signal supplied from the driver circuit GDB can be changed in accordance with a “tap” event supplied to a touch panel with a finger or the like.

A signal GCLK is a clock signal controlling an operation of the driver circuit GDB, and a signal PWC1 and a signal PWC2 are pulse width control signals controlling the operation of the driver circuit GDB. The driver circuit GDB supplies selection signals to a scan line G2(m+1) to a scan line G2(2 m) on the basis of the signal GCLK, the signal PWC1, the signal PWC2, and the like.

Thus, for example, the driver circuit GDB can supply a selection signal without supply of selection signals from the driver circuit GDA and the driver circuit GDC. Alternatively, the display of the region where a selection signal is supplied from the driver circuit GDB can be refreshed without any change in the display of regions where selection signals are supplied from the driver circuit GDA and the driver circuit GDC. Alternatively, power consumed by the driver circuits can be reduced.

[Eighth Step]

In the eighth step, the interrupt processing terminates (see (U8) in FIG. 14(A)). Note that in a period in which the main processing is executed, the interrupt processing may be repeatedly executed.

<<Predetermined Event>>

For example, it is possible to use events supplied using a pointing device such as a mouse, such as “click” and “drag”, and events supplied to a touch panel with a finger or the like used as a pointer, such as “tap”, “drag”, and “swipe”.

For example, the position of a slide bar pointed by a pointer, the swipe speed, and the drag speed can be used to assign arguments to an instruction associated with a predetermined event.

For example, data sensed by the sensing portion 250 is compared with a predetermined threshold value, and the compared results can be used for the event.

Specifically, a pressure sensor or the like in contact with a button or the like that is arranged to be able to be pushed in a housing can be used for the sensing portion 250.

<<Instruction Associated with Predetermined Event>>

For example, the termination instruction can be associated with a predetermined event.

For example, “page-turning instruction” for switching display from one displayed image data to another image data can be associated with a predetermined event. Note that an argument determining the page-turning speed or the like, which is used when the “page-turning instruction” is executed, can be supplied using the predetermined event.

For example, “scroll instruction” for moving the display position of displayed part of image data and displaying another part continuing from that part or the like can be associated with a predetermined event. Note that an argument determining the moving speed of display, or the like, which is used when the “scroll instruction” is executed, can be supplied using the predetermined event.

For example, an instruction for setting the display method, an instruction for generating image data, or the like can be associated with a predetermined event. Note that an argument determining the brightness of a generated image can be associated with a predetermined event. An argument determining the brightness of a generated image may be determined on the basis of ambient brightness sensed by the sensing portion 250.

For example, an instruction for acquiring data distributed via a push service using the communication portion 290 or the like can be associated with a predetermined event.

Note that positional data sensed by the sensing portion 250 may be used for the determination of the presence or absence of a qualification for acquiring data. Specifically, it may be determined that there is a qualification for acquiring data in the case of presence in a predetermined class room, school, conference room, company, building, or the like or in a predetermined region. For example, educational materials distributed in a classroom of a school, a university, or the like can be received, so that the data processing device 200 can be used as a schoolbook or the like (see FIG. 12(C)). Alternatively, materials distributed in a conference room in, for example, a company can be received and used for a conference material.

Note that this embodiment can be combined with other embodiments in this specification as appropriate.

<<Structure Example 1 of Data Processing Device>>

Thus, the data processing device can be used for an electronic blackboard, an electronic bulletin board, or digital signage, for example.

<<Structure Example 3 of Data Processing Device>>

For example, the data processing device has a function of changing its display method in accordance with the illuminance of a usage environment (see FIG. 17 ). Accordingly, a television system can display an image such that the television system can be suitably used even when irradiated with strong external light that enters the room in fine weather.

Note that this embodiment can be combined with other embodiments in this specification as appropriate.

In the case where there is an explicit description, X and Y are connected, in this specification and the like, for example, the case where X and Y are electrically connected, the case where X and Y are functionally connected, and the case where X and Y are directly connected are disclosed in this specification and the like. Accordingly, without being limited to a predetermined connection relationship, for example, a connection relation shown in drawings or texts, a connection relationship other than one shown in drawings or texts is described in the drawings or the texts.

Here, X and Y each denote an object (e.g., a device, an element, a circuit, a wiring, an electrode, a terminal, a conductive film, or a layer).

An example of the case where X and Y are directly connected is the case where an element that allows electrical connection between X and Y (e.g., a switch, a transistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a resistor, a diode, a display element, a light-emitting element, or a load) is not connected between X and Y, and is the case where X and Y are connected without an element that allows electrical connection between X and Y (e.g., a switch, a transistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a resistor, a diode, a display element, a light-emitting element, or a load) placed therebetween.

For example, in the case where X and Y are electrically connected, one or more elements that enable electrical connection between X and Y (e.g., a switch, a transistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a resistor, a diode, a display element, a light-emitting element, or a load) can be connected between X and Y. Note that the switch has a function of being controlled to be turned on or off. That is, a switch has a function of being in a conduction state (on state) or a non-conduction state (off state) to control whether or not current flows. Alternatively, the switch has a function of selecting and changing a current path. Note that the case where X and Y are electrically connected includes the case where X and Y are directly connected.

An example of the case where X and Y are functionally connected is the case where one or more circuits that allow functional connection between X and Y (for example, a logic circuit (an inverter, a NAND circuit, a NOR circuit, or the like), a signal converter circuit (a DA converter circuit, an AD converter circuit, a gamma correction circuit, or the like), a potential level converter circuit (a power supply circuit (a step-up circuit, a step-down circuit, or the like), a level shifter circuit for changing the potential level of a signal, or the like), a voltage source, a current source, a switching circuit, an amplifier circuit (a circuit capable of increasing signal amplitude, the amount of current, or the like, an operational amplifier, a differential amplifier circuit, a source follower circuit, a buffer circuit, or the like), a signal generator circuit, a memory circuit, a control circuit, or the like) can be connected between X and Y. For example, even when another circuit is interposed between X and Y, X and Y are functionally connected when a signal output from X is transmitted to Y. Note that the case where X and Y are functionally connected includes the case where X and Y are directly connected and the case where X and Y are electrically connected.

Note that in the case where there is an explicit description, X and Y are electrically connected, the case where X and Y are electrically connected (i.e., the case where X and Y are connected with another element or another circuit provided therebetween), the case where X and Y are functionally connected (i.e., the case where X and Y are functionally connected with another circuit provided therebetween), and the case where X and Y are directly connected (i.e., the case where X and Y are connected without another element or another circuit provided therebetween) are disclosed in this specification and the like. That is, in the case where there is an explicit description, being electrically connected, the same contents as the case where there is only an explicit description, being connected, are disclosed in this specification and the like.

For example, any of the following expressions can be used for the case where a source (or a first terminal or the like) of a transistor is electrically connected to X through (or not through) Z1 and a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of the transistor is electrically connected to Y through (or not through) Z2, or the case where a source (or a first terminal or the like) of a transistor is directly connected to one part of Z1 and another part of Z1 is directly connected to X while a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of the transistor is directly connected to one part of Z2 and another part of Z2 is directly connected to Y.

It can be expressed as, for example, “X, Y, a source (or a first terminal or the like) of a transistor, and a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of the transistor are electrically connected to each other, and X, the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor, the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor, and Y are electrically connected to each other in this order”. Alternatively, the expression “a source (or a first terminal or the like) of a transistor is electrically connected to X, a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of the transistor is electrically connected to Y, and X, the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor, the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor, and Y are electrically connected to each other in this order” can be used. Alternatively, the expression “X is electrically connected to Y through a source (or a first terminal or the like) and a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of a transistor, and X, the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor, the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor, and Y are provided in this connection order” can be used. When the connection order in a circuit configuration is defined by an expression similar to the above examples, a source (or a first terminal or the like) and a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of a transistor can be distinguished from each other to specify the technical scope.

Alternatively, as another expression, the expression “a source (or a first terminal or the like) of a transistor is electrically connected to X through at least a first connection path, the first connection path does not include a second connection path, the second connection path is a path through the transistor, between the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor and a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of the transistor, the first connection path is a path through Z1, the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor is electrically connected to Y through at least a third connection path, the third connection path does not include the second connection path, and the third connection path is a path through Z2” can be used. Alternatively, the expression “a source (or a first terminal or the like) of a transistor is electrically connected to X by at least a first connection path through Z1, the first connection path does not include a second connection path, the second connection path includes a connection path through the transistor, a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of the transistor is electrically connected to Y by at least a third connection path through Z2, and the third connection path does not include the second connection path” can also be used. Alternatively, the expression “a source (or a first terminal or the like) of a transistor is electrically connected to X by at least a first electrical path through Z1, the first electrical path does not include a second electrical path, the second electrical path is an electrical path from the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor to a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of the transistor, the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor is electrically connected to Y by at least a third electrical path through Z2, the third electrical path does not include a fourth electrical path, and the fourth electrical path is an electrical path from the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor to the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor” can be used. When the connection path in a circuit configuration is defined by an expression similar to the above examples, a source (or a first terminal or the like) and a drain (or a second terminal or the like) of a transistor can be distinguished from each other to specify the technical scope.

Note that these expressions are examples and there is no limitation on the expressions. Here, X, Y, Z1, and Z2 each denote an object (e.g., a device, an element, a circuit, a wiring, an electrode, a terminal, a conductive film, or a layer).

Even when independent components are electrically connected to each other in a circuit diagram, one component has functions of a plurality of components in some cases. For example, when part of a wiring also functions as an electrode, one conductive film has functions of both components: a function of the wiring and a function of the electrode.
